(National Sentinel) Self-Defense: If the lawless, chaos-inducing Left ever gets its way the American people will lose the Second Amendment in all but name only, leaving us vulnerable to people who want to do us and our loved ones harm.

And women like Michelle Booker-Hicks will suffer mightily.

As reported by The Washington Times, Booker-Hicks was forced to react when a man tried to steal her vehicle with her children inside. Had she been denied her Second Amendment rights, which is what Democrats want, she would have suffered a devastating loss from which she would have never recovered.

The loss of her children.

The paper noted:

A pistol-packing Dallas mother sprang into action Wednesday night after a man attempted to steal her car with her two young children still inside.

Michelle Booker-Hicks told a local Fox affiliate that she was paying for a tank of gas at the Shell station near Camp Wisdom Road around 10 p.m. when she saw a man get into her SUV with her 2- and 4-year-old sons still in the backseat.

“I proceeded to jump in my backseat and told the gentleman to stop, to get out the car,” she said.

Ms. Booker-Hicks said the man started to drive off, so she went for her firearm that she keeps in the glove box.

“He would not get out of the car. He turned around and looked at me. I reached over the armrest to get my glove compartment and that’s when I fired at him once I got the gun from my glove compartment,” she said.

“I should have emptied the whole clip, but I didn’t,” the mother told a local CBS affiliate. “I’m not a killer, but I do believe in defending what’s mine.”

She said the man then got out of the car, staggered across the street and collapsed in a nearby parking lot.

The man, identified as 36-year-old Ricky Wright, was arrested and taken to the hospital for treatment. His charges have not yet been announced.

Neither she nor her children were harmed. But Americans will be, by the tens of thousands, if the lunatics on the Left ever gain control of our country.
